Google Code University <- This is good to learn to code well.
The best game maker? I am going to go ahead and suggest a real engine, it won't be easy, but it is what you will be seriously using if you get in to the industry. The sooner you start using real tools the better;
Unreal
Unity
Source (a little outdated IMO)
OGRE (more of a graphics engine than a game engine)
Don't waste time piddling around with Gamemaker or RPG maker, those are for kids. If you want to get a serious head start, jump in to a real engine and start using some real tools.
Rapid prototyping with Gamemaker or RPG maker is acceptable, once you know what you are doing.

Nice thanks for the help.
Was looking at OGRE and stuff looks real on it.

If we're talking good programs that are very simple but can make some amazing games I would definitely say game maker, you can find it at yoyogames and the latest version is 8. It could be a good step before c++ language. It seemed to make it a little easier in my opinion.
Blender is the best to use for a free game maker, but hard to do if you don't watch the tuts they have.
